A seated figure in saffron-orange and gold-bordered robes, wearing a yellow and pink flower garland and a tilak on the forehead, receives a small book with a gold cover from a kneeling man in a dark blazer and striped collared shirt. The seated figure has a distinctive long swept-back hair style, but the appearance cues are insufficient for a confident identification, so the person is described by role as a seated guru receiving an offering. Behind them stand robed sannyasis in orange with rudraksha malas and a white-draped table. A golden lion-headed throne armrest is in front, with a bald priest in the lower left foreground.
